Wireless Broadband USB Modem: configuration help

I am relatively new to ArchLinux. I have been having problems connecting to Internet. For more details see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120469.

I am unable to connect to Internet using my Wired Ethernet... and the problem is with the ISP, and they are clueless about the my problem to offer any help. Anyways. I just have a core arch_amd64 installation with no GUI... and I need network to proceed further.

I have just borrowed my friends Wireless Broadband USB Modem to connect to the internet and complete my Arch Installation. The device I borrowed is ZTE AC-2726 and the Service Provider is RELIANCE NETCONNECT. I need forum help in configuring the device to connect to a network. I could not find the appropriate WIKI to help with USB Modem (if there is one please guide me to it). I have tried to use pppoe but I could not direct it to the device. By the way, lsusb identifies my device.

I request the forum to please consider me an ARCH noob and instruct/help me accordingly.

Since I am using a borrowed internet I have limited time with it, quick help is needed and much appreciated.

Thank you.
